Books are stored in roughly 5,000 square meters around the building, 80 percent of which is located on the fifth floor. The remaining books are shelved vertically at a transparent storage core visible from the outside, so as to showcase them to the public.

Underground space is connected to the storage core, allowing visitors to “experience the library even when they drive down to park their cars.” The ground level, first floor, and second floor, are occupied by the lobby entrance, event space, and staff offices, which access the storage core separately from public circulation.
